Thats just too darn funny, Guess he was a kook in training to be a big kook. I have had problems where I am out and someone learning is just going for anything and everything snaking all your rides and never even standing up. All apart of learning. What I usually do is just chat with him a little on my paddle back out and let him know your gonna be going for a waves even if he is as well and I let him know that if he gets up and going and has the wave that I will pull out or back off.
I have no problems with sharing.
If the conditions are good there is a rule that applies to every break I have ever surfed. If you are in poisition in the line-up to go, and you blow the wave, for ANY reason (unless youget hooted into a 10 footer at blacks and go over the falls going for broke), but other than that, if you cant stand up, or flop in the face, or miss the bottom turn, or just take a straight line to the beach, you are officially done for the day. You will be dropped in on EVERYTIME a set wave comes until you prove that you can catch the wave. Even if you get one, it may take you all day to get your priority back....
And I will give you MAYBE twice if you are the guy that paddles out really fast, turns like you are going to go cause you are in position, then you pus$ out as the face starts opening up while you are paddling in and then you pull out. You do that more than once, you are also done and every guy in the lineup is gonna drop in on you... ANd they will tell you why every time...
I won't usually be rude or talk smack to anyone in the water, but if I am sitting next to you, and I back off of a good set wave because you went for it, then you pull out or something. I will let out the biggest 'UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" you'ev ever heard... Just a sound of disappointment.
My example was one on a mellow, small, non-crouded day. Your right, if its good there is a defined lineup; your absolutly right. Move down the beach buddy cause your not surfing here. But if its just me and a very few other people in the water I'll help them out.
